Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. Took him fall of 2017. Was late every single class. One class he left a note to wait for him or we would lose credit, and he was 45 minutes late. Very tough grader on the essays he gives, and they're the only grades you get. Very quiet. Never would I let someone I have the slightest respect for, take his class.

Took him for PHI1000C online. Silly me, I thought it was going to be easy. The powerpoints are so long and sometimes really difficult to understands. Quizzes every week are INSANELY difficult, even with access to all your notes and books. Additionally, he is a little tough to get a hold of via email, which is no good for an online course.

Currently taking him online and he is terrible. I'm doing everything he has asked and I'm on the verge of failing. NOTHING you give to him is good enough. Do not take him!!!! Unless you want your gpa to drop :)

Comment:

Even though I'm doing well in this class, for some reason he doesn't like to give perfect scores. You can write way more than he asked for and he will still not give you a perfect grade for what you deserve. Take someone who will grade you fairly based on your work.

Comment:

Professor Muteru is very helpful and available through email whenever you need assistance.. However, he is a very strict grader and deducts points off of your assignments for simply not mentioning a few things. There are tons of slides in each presentation which you use for each quiz which isnt too bad.

D O N O T T A K E H I S C L A S S He talks low in a monotone voice and has the most boring lectures on the planet. He gave me a 45 on my midterm paper that was over three pages long while a fellow classmate got a 78 for the same level of work. If you are a good student trying to maintain your scholarship don't risk it.

Comment:

Try not to take this class. It is very boring and its very hard to pay attention in class or to even want to go to class. Its pretty easy but as I said he is very boring and has a thick accent which makes it that much harder to pay attention. Quizzes are online and there are two 3-page papers that arent too bad.

Mr. Muteru was a very kind a fair professor. Even though he has a lot of slides on the board he does a good job explaining them. We did not get a lot of work only two papers, two online quizzes and the final was also a online test. We did not get any homework but if we had questions about the class he was always available for help!!

Comment:

Professor Muteru wants the best for his students. Although his lectures are hard to comprehend, he makes the effort for all his students to pass . He's a tough grader when it comes to the papers but when it comes to the quizzes and final they're pretty straight forward with the questions. Take this class if you dont wanna be overwhelmed this semst

Comment:

I had him for 3hrs on a Wednesday and this professor just reads off of slides and he talks FOREVER. His slides are 25-45 slides long. He is usually late to class. Essentially this class is easy because you only get 2 papers a semester and 2 take home quizzes. This class is so boring and makes you wanna cry. AVOID HIM!!

Comment:

Im personally not someone who wants to sit in class for 3 hours and listen to someone read me slides. There is a lot of content on the slides. He is not very organized, didn't put up midterm grades till late and doesn't put up quizzes when he says he will. Comes to class 20 mins late every single class, making us wait.

Comment:

Dr. Muteru's class was easily one of the best online classes I have taken. I was not too intrigued in the topic of philosophy, but I grew a genuine interest thanks to him. He formats the class really well and makes sure to give all his students a chance to receive the best grade they can. His passion in the subject is amazing. Definitely recommend!

The slides in class were long, and lectures had lots of info. If you take notes, and put effort in the papers and quizzes, you will do well. Professor Muteru was also always available outside of class, and answered questions that I had. If you do the readings, and assignments, you will do well in class. You can also tell he loves philosophy.

Comment:

Professor Muteru loves philosophy, and you can tell. I learned a lot in class. The lectures are heavy, so I recommend bringing a laptop or printing out the slides. When emailing, he always responded quickly, and answered any questions that I had. He cares for the students, and wants them to do well, but you have to put in work to do well.

The level of difficulty was to great for this professor. I ended up dropping the class. Provides no clarity and deadlines for online classes after an assignment is posted is only 48 hours.

Took this class online for one week. No syllabus, grades you doesn't give feedback to why you got the grade you got. Quizzes put up randomly on blackboard without an email or syllabus that says when the quizzes are put up. Avoid this class.

Comment:

Incredibly sweet man who loves what he teaches but he's very very boring. He has a thick accent, but if you pay attention you can understand him. Had him freshmen year from 5 to 8 and I struggled to stay awake. Gives way too many notes so you don't know what to write down or study. Strictly lectures, two books, can get pdf's online if you look.
